Cattlemen From The High Plains (1987 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)[00:00:00]
You may talk of the ringer from Queensland [00:00:13]
The big shearing gun from the west [00:00:17]
They are men who have proven their value [00:00:21]
Whenever they're put to the test [00:00:25]
But if you ever look to the mountains [00:00:28]
And the south where it snows and it rains [00:00:32]
Have you thought of the men from the Snowy [00:00:36]
And the cattlemen from the high plains [00:00:40]
From the high plains away above Dargo[00:00:44]
In the alps where the snow daisy grows [00:00:47]
Where the wild mountain herds are grazin'[00:00:51]
Beneath the shadow of mountains of snow [00:00:55]
Where the cattlemen searched every cranny [00:00:58]
When they muster at each summer's end [00:01:02]
In their rain batter hats and their oil skins [00:01:06]
From the high plains come real cattlemen [00:01:10]
They're a part of Australia's hist'ry [00:01:13]
Their heritage all be the same [00:01:18]
If nobody cares what is happn'nin' [00:01:21]
To the cattlemen from the high plains [00:01:25]
After one fifty years they can take it [00:01:34]
All the hardship the mountains can give [00:01:38]
They hand onto each generation [00:01:42]
Their caring their live and let live [00:01:46]
All the steep mountain tracks and the gullies [00:01:50]
Which one knows like the palm of his hand [00:01:53]
There's no room here for too many new chumps[00:01:57]
In the mountain cattleman's land [00:02:00]
So I guess that you'll never believe me [00:02:05]
When you hear what they're plannin' to do [00:02:08]
Down in town mate they're writin' the law now [00:02:12]
That the man from the high plains must go [00:02:15]
Take his herds from the mountains and ridges [00:02:19]
Leave the land where his forefathers reigned [00:02:23]
With the sweep of the pen they want to write out [00:02:27]
The cattlemen from the high plains [00:02:30]
And we lose a part of our hist'ry [00:02:34]
Of our land built through struggle and strain [00:02:38]
A bit more of our freedom goes with them [00:02:42]
The cattlemen from the high plains [00:02:46]
Just a bit more freedom goes with them [00:02:49]
The cattlemen from the high plains[00:02:53]
